I really want the Phenom 300, please tell me it's not true!
Little confused where you are getting the 100 dollar number from. It is listed on their website for 39.99, which is an okay price for the plane.

How is KORD? I was interested in it, but the screenshots make it look quite aged.

Carenado sale but which model?
I know that it is not on your list, but the C337 has been one of their best releases ever. It has a few bugs, like all Carenado planes, but there is something about the immersion factor with the plane.

What do you think is the best aircraft addon, from the last 5 years?
Here is my list: Careened C337 - Not sure what it is with this plane, but I really like it PMDG 737 - No explanation needed Majestic Q400 - The new benchmark for immersive commercial airliners AXE - Fun every now and then A2A C172 - Never really enjoyed this plane that much. I am not sure why. Quality Wings ARJ - Fun besides user error with the autopilot

(expired) All REX titles 30-50% OFF through December 2nd
With all of the added discounts that pcaviator is offering, this is very tempting.

I need a nice GA aricraft with some good power
Another good, but less complex option is the Carenado C208. It will get into anywhere and has the power to climb out of anything.

cannot install pmdg 737 ngx
From what I know, then you are looking at a full reinstall of fsx and your addons. This time though when reinstalling make sure to choose the installation location carefully. The problem is that even if you could somehow force the pmdg plane to install, every other plane that you would purchase would have the same problem, thereby necessitating a full reinstall. One last hope other then a full reinstall might be to try some of the other registry repair tools for fsx.

cannot install pmdg 737 ngx
Did you ever move your fsx folder ever? I had a similar problem and the fix that worked for me was to run flight1's registry repair tool. It can be found for free on their website.

757, soon?
It is this and the DA crj. Neither seem to ever have progress, which is sad. Two of the planes that are the most needed by the fs community cannot seem to be finished.

Got email for aerosoft there's pmdg sale on aerosoft
Ahh, now I am really struggling to resist. I just bought a ton of stuff, but this is so tempting. I guess that I have all weekend to decide.

FSX PC Build Advice
snowingairlines replied to lynx22's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcThis is the best I could do with your price point. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£163.90 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Asus Z87-Plus ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£98.00 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£56.99 @ Aria PC) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£35.94 @ Aria PC) Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card (£168.91 @ Scan.co.uk) Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (£39.95 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£52.27 @ Amazon UK) Optical Drive: LG GH24NSB0 DVD/CD Writer (£13.54 @ Amazon UK) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) (£69.65 @ CCL Computers) Total: £699.15 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) (Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-05-25 16:35 BST+0100) You do not want to drop much lower in terms of parts. Anything lower and you will pay dearly in performance for the little bit of cost savings. If I were you, I would wait for a little bit longer and save up enough to buy a rock solid build in which you will have no regrets.

Most accurate VC's in our community
For me, it is less about how exactly accurate the Vc and more about the immersion factor. My top ones are: PMDG NGX Majestic Q400 Carenado Cessna 337 Airbus x Extended

Can My Current System (Dell Optiplex 755) Run Fsx Well?
snowingairlines replied to wizkid27147's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcI would just stick to the airplanes, so that everything can be run on ok settings. Do not expect super high fps, but it should be playable. I would start with an add-on like the NGX and see how how computer handles that. Then add more.

NEW FSX RIG HELP! PLEASE HELP!
snowingairlines replied to wizkid27147's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcI know that you probably really want a computer now, but waiting really would help. You don't want to spend that much money and not be happy with what you got. Otherwise I would turn to ebay. You might be able to find some great deals on some of the products.

NEW FSX RIG HELP! PLEASE HELP!
snowingairlines replied to wizkid27147's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcNvidia is the preferred maker for fsx video cards. It all depends on what your budget is. For a budget build, here is about the minimum that you can get away with.

(Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-04-21 22:12 EDT-0400) Be aware though that FSX is an old program and it is not possible to run it fully maxed out. Compromises will have to be made.

A320 Series Wingflex (Once and for All)
To find pictures with wing flex on an a320 series plane, one much selectively search through a large number of pictures. This low number of pictures that demonstrate wing flex, shows how little flex that there is. Google almost any picture of a 737 and wing flex is visible.
